Leicester City are waiting to find out the extent of an injury to defender Filip Benkovic.

The on-loan Croat limped off in the first half of Celtic’s 1-0 defeat to Rangers in the Old Firm clash at Ibrox on Saturday.

Benkovic lasted 44 minutes before pulling up with what looked like a hamstring problem, and was replaced by Kristoffer Ajer just before the break.

Boss Brendan Rodgers admitted losing Benkovic and fellow defender Mikael Lustig didn’t help matters, but by that point Steven Gerrard’s Gers were already a goal to the good courtesy of Ryan Jack’s opener on the half-hour mark.

“They did,” said Rodgers when asked if the two enforced changes played a part in the defeat to their bitter rivals.

“We lost two defenders in the game and it limits you.

“There was a period when we thought we needed to get Kieran (Tierney) into the game and needed to change it but with the subs we had to make, that took away that possibility because we wanted to get Odsonne (Edouard) into the game.
